Alexander Hamilton, who is buried in
Trinity churchyard used to live on what is
now Tenth avenue, at about One Hundred
and Forty-tbird street The estate, which
is being cut up into building lots this sum
mer, is still called by the name he gave it,
Hamilton Grange. The Hamilton house is
still standing, though its days are appar-
emily numbered. When l visited it last
week block houses were going up rapidly on
two sides of it on land forming part of the
Hamilton tract, cellars were being dug on
the third side and | heard blasting on the
fourth. One Hundred and Forty third
street when cut through, as it will be at no
distant date, will destroy fine old chestnut,
one of the most magnificent trees to be found
anywhere, and will barely escape the house
if it does not pass clean through it. 1t is hard
to look forward to the prospective destruc-
ton of the Hamilton bouse which, though
modest, two-story structure, a relic of
genuine Republican simplicity, is yet good
specimen of Colonial classic architecture, in
excellent taste, with interior fittings that
were brought from England The locks
upon the doors are a curious feature, some
of them requiring two turns of ponderous
key to throw the bolt. The grounds remain
much as originally laid out, carriage drive
winding about the house, bordered by fra
grant box hedges Fenced in near the main
entrance is a group of thirteen trees planted
by Hamilton himself and symbolizing the
thirteen original States. The house over
looks the Hudson with the Palisades beyond
and was as beautiful a country seat as a man
could wish. New York ought to have a
historical society rich enough or an organ
ization of some sort devoted enough to buy
up such memorials of old times and prolong
their life as much as possible. There are
not too many of them and they go to decay
fast. ELIZA PUTNAM HEAToN.

Mementoes of revolutionary days are
more abundant than those OF the period
preceding it. One relic of the early city is
never likely to be swept away, the Bowling
Green. 1t was on this open space on the
land side of the forts at the Battery that
the hog fair was held in the days of the
Dutch Governor Kieft. IL was here that
the Long Island and Jersey Indians smoked
the peace pipe and ratified the treaty that
closed the bloody redskin war in the days of
the same Director. 1t was this ground that
the corporation leased at a rent of one bar
leycorn year for bowling green III the
early part of the eighteenth century 1t
was here that the Liberty Boys burned
Cadwallader Golden, the British Lieutenant
Governor, Fin effigy, when the Stamp Act
was passed 1t was here that they erected
a leaden statue of George III. in gratitude
for its repeal, and here again that they
pulled it down when independence was de-
clared. That statue, by the way, had a
curious history. 1t was posted Off to Con
necticut, where it made, under Gov VOL
colts directions bullets that did fine service
during TI'yons invasion of that State. The
saddle cloth, dug out Of marsh, was
brought back TO the city years after, where
it lay alongside a mutilated statue Of Pitt,
pulled down by the British in revenge for
the demolition of King George, outside the
I-useum Hotel in West Broadway. till that

The most interesting relic of old New York,
perhaps. is Black Sans or Frances Tavern.
on the corner of Pearl and Broad streets.
1t was here that Washington was lodged
after the evacuation by the British, and
here that his memorable farewell to his
officers was spoken. The building is plain
brick structure, five stories high, though it
is not improbable that the two upper stories
have been added since the present century
came in, the great thickness of the honest
old walls making such an addition easily
possible. The house was built about 1870
by the De Iancy family, and Samuel
Fraunces opened it in 1862 as an inn. 1t
was the Saturday night rendezvous of a
gathering of choice spirits, who called them
selves the Social Club, and remained open
throughout the war, Black Sam, though
known TO be on the Liberty side, being a
favorite of the Tories as well. 1t is now
kept by one Jacob Etzell who is very proud
of the history of the old place and looks
with scorn on the claims Of spurious Wash
ington's headquarters elsewhere The dining
room where the last toast was drank and the
last handclasp given before Washington took
boat at Whitehall to lay down his commits
sion before Congress, is on the second floor;
a low-celled room with deep window seats
that would put a modern builders fimsy
walls to shame A portrait of Washington
hangs in it and long tables are ranged up
and down its length.
Trinity is often spoken of as if it were an
old church, and indeed its site has been oc-
cupied since 1896, and its graveyard--the
one quiet place on busy Broadway-open
since 1908 But the building has been en-
larged twice, burned, rebuilt, pulled down
and again rebuilt in that time the present
beautiful Gothic structure dating from 1915
only. Much older in reality is st. Paul's,
no great distance above it, built in 1866
The finest Sir Christopher Wren model in
this country they used to call it. 1t was
meant, to front on Church street, and the
old steeple stands on that side, but Broad
way grew in Importance so rapidly that it
had an incongruous Greek portico added

The battle of Long Island still has its
relics ON the Brooklyn side of the bridge,
Battle Pass" is pointed out to every visitor
to Prospect Park. 1t is year or so only
since an old English fireboard, cast in Ok
ford and bearing the royal arms, with the
date 1854, was dug out of the ground in
Flatbush and helped fix the position of a
house known to have been burned by the
English troops. Bullets and small English
coins are turned up by Flatbush farmers to
this day The shore road from Bay Ridge
to Fort Hamilton, along which Clinton sent
Gen. Grant to divert the attention of Put
nam from the main attack of the enemy,
winds, as it did then up hill and down, over
looking the Narrows with a constant pro
cession of New York's commerce steaming
in and out, as beautiful walk as there is
about the city. The road through the pass
from jamaica by which Clinton turned the
American lines, has not varied since, and
the old road house where tradition has it his
men stopped to drink, stands now under the
shadow of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad
on upper Broadway, in the Twenty sixth
ward. 1t has not gone out of its old bust
ness of dispensing fluid refreshment, and as
the Hunters Home finds soft wooden couches
for occasional weary hunters on the settees
before its door.

THE SUYDAM HOUSE.

OF the old Dutch city as it stood under its
doughty Governors prior to 1864 not a build
ing is left | can point you out the tomb of
Peter Stuyvesant, to be sure. but that really
belongs to the days when "we lived under
the King" for the sturdy veteran loved the
city too well to leave it when his power left
him, and remained quiet subject of the
English till he died on his own farm and was
buried in the family vault in the walls of a
church which he had built at his own ex-
pense That church is long since gone, but
ON the spot which it occupied, on ground
once part of the Stuyvesant bouUe1te,
stands the church of st. Mark, fronting
Stuyvesant place, near Thirteenth street,
into whose east wall is built the original
tablet on which one may still decipher the
inscription:
In this vault lies buried
PETRUs STUYvEsANT,
Late Captain General and Commander-in-chief
of Amsterdam, in New Netherland, now
called New York,
md the Dutch West India Islands. Died in
August, 1882.
Aged 81, Years. + ~.
1t is more than 200 years since the brave old
Director died and the landmarks of the
Knickerhockers have one by one crumbled
into dust There are fine specimens of
Dutch architecture about the city, and espe-
cially on Long Island, still; but the quaint,
low-browed mansions in Flatbush and scat
tered on the outskirts of Brooklyn antedate
the revolution but little. The Suydam
house on Evergreen avenue, Brooklyn, has
been carefully maintained in its original
shape, and its door posts show bullet holes
from the guns of British troopers.

CHICkE|!:RING
THE PIANO
For Pure Singing Tone.

The American Art Journal of New York
thus speaks of Mrs. Cecilia S. p. Cary, of
Rochester n. Y. who is now recognized as
one of the finest Pianists and most success
full Teachers that America has produced;
Mrs Cary made flying visits to New
York, receiving valuable instruction from
S, B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from
those two great tone masters, Thalberg and
Gottschalk. The production of n pure
singing tone had always been a study with
her, and, observing that these two great
pianists used only the Chichering Pianos,
she made thorough investigation, which
resulted in her purchasing tho first Chick
ering Grand that went into Western New
York. Since that time Mrs. Cary has been
a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano
Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with
her to advise the use of these instruments
with her class, over 70 of whom possess
Chickering Grands."

Editor Press and Banner:
1t is again my special privilege to make a
report of my annual viStationS OF the public
schools Uf the county, and am pleased TO say
all things in the management of this depart
ment have worked well and proved satisfac-
tory, except that the public fund is invariably
exhausted little too soon for the teachers
Will continue to exist until the Blair bill is
made law, and then we will have money to
keep and to spare, and money TO pay the
teachers better salaries and make coInforta.
BILE school buildings, and pay all the school Of
ticerS. and raise the standard Of education to
the highest point attainable by human effort
and skill.
And right here, since we have mentioned
the above subsidy as we believe to be RENE
dy to obviate the troubles Of the present
school system, 1t Is remarkably strange that
whilst the whole people admit that the public
school fund Is insufficient and the present
school system is detective and works badly,
some of our leading statesmen and many OF
our good citizens are opposed TO any govern
But this is leaving or DEPRESSING from the sub.
ject of our present communication, and we
must again recommence and resume our re-
port. II affords the writer much pleasure to
by the whole people in education throughout
the county at this time than any period since
the war. In proof OF which we would men,
tion the boom in some of our growing rail-
road towns. such as Greenwood, Mccormick,

ready fine institutions of learning, embracing
both male and female educational buildings,
besides the inter-county high schools and
schools of all grades. Ali seem 10 be enthused
and alive TO the great work, and determined
TO obtain the precious loon, which surpasses
all legacies of an earthly nature in the pres
ent world.
Having now given a short sketch Of some Of
the duties required of the School Commits
Sioncr, further state that my visitations to
the schools throughout the county have been
exceedingly pleasant and the preliminary eX.
anlnatiOns of the schools have been entirely

repeated acts of kindness and respect.

In this communication we do not propose
to trespass on the ground belonging to East
wish to look at n fact or two that are OF vast
Importance to Ninety.Six and some other
places in our county, OF which you made
mention, viz: that Greenwood no longer has
nor can have the advantage OF her neighbor
towns in freights. From the Eastern and
Northern markets NiEety-SiX has a little the
advantage. Western freights about the same.
If the trade which naturally belongs TO our
town continues to 60 to Greenwood 1t WILL not
be because any inducements can and will be
freights, as we now have them, our merchants
do not propose TO be undersold by any one,
and Greenwood may puff and blow herself In
the papers as Is her custom, as much as she
plenscs but Ninety-Six proposes to he under
sold by none, and we want the farmers to In
vestlgate this matter for themselves. We pro-
pose to give as much for cotton or any pro-
duce that may be offered for sue. In fact we
expect to keep pace with Columbia and
Greenville. We have a country to back us for

premium list of our State fair will show we

natural advantages we have our town does
not take the lead, the fau 1t will be With her
business men alone. We have men here in

too who propose to spread themselves this

tonish the trade because she IL hound to bring
every customer home again, and she is going
further and bring new customers. We have
